What can I say, the Icom IC-7300 is an amazing radio! I’m glad that I purchased this radio and can’t wait to use it more. I believe that it is the best HF/6m ham radio that I have owned.

In this video I describe my thoughts and review what I most like about the Icom IC-7300 and the things that I also dislike.

Introducting the Leo Bodnar IC-9700 GPS Injection Board. This board is installed into your Icom IC-9700 and solves the issue of drift and frequency stability! Best of all NO soldering is required!

From the Leo Bodnar website – https://www.leobodnar.com/shop/
“This module allows locking the ICOM IC-9700 radio transceiver internal frequency reference, to an external 49.152MHz signal. If the internal reference is locked to a GPS signal, achievable ICOM stability can be better than 1Hz on all bands.

Installing this module inside the ICOM IC-9700 does not require any soldering or modification to internal circuitry. This modification is completely reversible and should not affect your warranty.

This module is designed to be used and has been tested with our range of GPS reference clocks signal sources.”

In this video I show the installation and setup of the board in my 9700.

This month, the Amateur Radio Experimenters Group (AREG) have as their guest speakers Phil Lock and Bill Cowley, talking about amateur radio astronomy.

Cheaper electronics has created great possibilities for Amateur Radio Astronomy. This talk will describe a local project to receive and map the distribution of 1420 MHz signals from neutral hydrogen in our galaxy. We briefly describe the history of 21cm RA and why it’s still of great interest to astronomers. We outline some challenges over the last few years in assembling a 2m dish with custom feed, electronics and signal processing, then show recent results from our project.

The image in the thumbnail shows recent signals (May 17th) recorded over a 24 hour period for dish elevation of 53 degrees. The signal changes as the antenna points to different parts of the Milky Way.
